Once again I have joined in Jo's annual event. Each event we are given a topic. This year is our tree. When I was living in Rhode Island we always cut down a tree...loved the real tree. Here in Arizona it is an artificial one. I try to get it up the first week of December. Last year Lisa and I did it on Thanksgiving night. It is wonderful to remember each ornament as it is hung. Lisa decorated our tree this year...I watched then added a few special ones. Some ornaments remain behind some always are hung. The top of our tree has the angel that I bought the first Christmas without Denny. Getting back to real trees...one year after we got the tree home and in the stand it was soooo big, we had to wire it to the window frame. Another year a lovely birds nest came home in the tree. Thankfully no critters!
This is my offering for the hop...a cardinal. It is special as it was a bird we had always visiting us back in RI...not here in Arizona. It was a favorite of Dennis' and today happens to be his birthday. He is celebrating with the angels but I celebrate him in my heart everyday. This is a lovely cardinal figurine
Thank you for visiting. Don't forget to go visit all the others at Jo's blog.
